up to recommendation there, and I've watched a, I'm up

3:07

to about kind of six. I

3:09

a workplace comedy it drama but

3:12

set in an orchestra. So lots

3:14

of egos and personalities within

3:16

a Danish orchestra. orchestra. Lead

3:19

exactly. And then there's then

3:21

like the first year. Like the

of course there's the a all the

3:31

creatives second chair. And all the people in

3:33

the office who run orchestra, all the

3:35

got your visiting versus all the

3:37

know, in the office who run the office. it's

3:39

just a really good idea to

3:42

set it. I haven't been to

3:44

many classical classical concerts I've been to

3:46

a few to always amazed me how

4:26

bit of a chat with each other and

9:59

gluten free. Gluten free. dairy free that's why

10:01

they taste weird well that's good for

10:03

glute we have a few gluten free

10:05

listeners it's good for gluten free listeners

10:08

and for vegans yeah dairy free as

10:10

well but they are they are odd

10:12

they're weird they are odd I think

10:14

the raspberry sugar but one is better

10:17

than the brown one what are they

10:19

made what are no more I've got

10:21

I don't want to hashtag it or

10:23

whatever I'm gonna I'm gonna Walk back

10:26

my criticism and say good on them

10:28

for trying to make something good. I

10:30

just did I just did a blood

10:32

test and I've got the gluten the

10:35

gluten gene what it was called. Does

10:37

that mean you're a celiac? Only 1%

10:39

of people are celiacs that said. But

10:41

are you 1%? No. But 40% of

10:44

people have the gluten allergy gene and

10:46

I've got it. But you're not celiac.

10:48

I don't think I'm a celiac. No.

10:50

How do you get to be in

10:53

the 1% percent group? Oh you got

10:55

to do a lot of tests and

10:57

stuff. I think you feel really serious.

11:00

You got to do a lot of

11:02

attention seeking. Oh come on right in

11:04

now to Courtney and complain about what

11:06

I just said. My doctor who's been

11:09

a doctor he's as old as me

11:11

and he goes I haven't yet to

11:13

meet one celiac and he's and a

11:15

lot of people said he said look

11:18

a lot of people have celiac adjacent.

11:20

disorder. Yeah, disorder. Yeah. And he said,

11:22

and a lot of people react bad

11:24

to gluten, but they're not celiacs. Yes,

11:27

I think a lot of people are

11:29

gluten intolerant, but not necessarily a celiacs.

11:31

But it's a word that people throw

11:33

around. It's like ADHD, because I've got

11:36

a lot of friends in comedy that

11:38

say I've got ADHD, and they're all,

11:40

except for one guy, except for Tom

11:42

Siger, who actually went to see someone

11:45

and got, you got a psychologist. Yeah,

11:47

well I think everyone's diagnosed himself with

11:49

ADHD. Anyway, look if you really have

11:51

it like Tom had and get medication

11:54

and stuff, it can be, it can

11:56

change your life. But it is very

11:58

popular. It's very popular. What

12:06

is next? Okay so next we're

12:08

going to try milk, what is

12:10

next? Okay so next we're going

12:12

to try milk chocolate white cream

12:15

sanders again from the chocolate box

12:17

because I've been doing a bit

12:19

of... I love airports. I also

12:21

like, I don't know why I

12:23

find the chocolate box shop comforting.

12:25

Even though they still haven't returned

12:27

the proper chocolate to their pretzels,

12:29

despite everything else in that shop

12:31

being real chocolate, they refused to

12:33

put real chocolate on the pretzels.

12:35

And despite your emails. And in

12:37

the Melbourne airport, they're still in

12:39

the corridor. They are in the

12:41

corridor, yeah. And the ladies said

12:43

it makes it really hard to

12:45

go to the toilet. Wow. Because

12:47

she's got to close up her

12:49

shop. Yeah, she got to put

12:51

all nets and stuff over it.

12:53

Just leave. Just go. That's what

12:55

I said. Oh look after it,

12:57

you go. She comes back, I've

12:59

got a little chocolate on my

13:01

face. How'd you go? Yeah, fine.

13:03

Okay, so these are nice little

13:05

four-wept centers. They do look good.

13:07

And they're supposed to have like

13:09

a white cream center. It's not

13:11

really any flavor, is it? I

13:13

don't mind it. What's that like?

13:15

That's a little bit European or

13:17

something. Yeah. It's not Marsapani, but

13:19

it kind of is Marsapani. Marsapan,

13:21

interestingly, being one of the oldest

13:23

Christmas treats. It's been a long

13:25

time since we've had lame research

13:27

on this podcast Dave. Well, you've

13:29

done a bit. Okay, Marsapam was

13:31

a Christmas cheat. Marsapam was, yeah,

13:33

one of the first kind of

13:35

sweeties. and yeah was used at

13:37

Christmas. The Germans and the Austrians

13:39

are always into Mazzapin. And they

13:41

were being developed. adopters of Christmas,

13:43

weren't that? Yeah, and that's going

13:45

to bring us up to our

13:47

next. Well, isn't it interesting to

13:49

me? I haven't mentioned anyone mentioned

13:51

Mars or Panty, other night I

13:53

was doing a gig, and I've

13:55

got this bit where I talk

13:57

about how vaping is targeted to

13:59

young people with bubble gum and

14:01

stuff, and we should bring in

14:03

flavors than only old people like.

14:05

Run and raisin. Old gold. Were

14:07

there's originals. That's what I do

14:09

that one, don't worry. Marsapan and

14:11

gets nothing I go yeah no

14:13

no I don't think anyone knows

14:15

what it is but it's a

14:17

good guess I think you're right

14:19

I think you're right he was

14:21

too abovey station there yeah yeah

14:23

he was too smart yeah too

14:25

smart for the average crowd so

14:27

I was funny that you mention

14:29

Marsapan because this guy yelled out

14:32

the other night well they they

14:34

often have these um Christmas treats

14:36

you used to always be able

14:38

to buy them in David Jones

14:40

they were I think Austrian and

14:42

they were always like chocolate wrapped

14:44

Marsapan Oh yes! Remember that? Yeah,

14:46

yeah, and also, yeah, yeah, and

14:48

nugar. And as a kid, you'd

14:50

always kind of just suck the

14:52

chocolate off and spit the Mars

14:54

Pan. Yeah, Mars Pan was weird.

14:56

It's like a nugari kind of.

14:58

Well, it's a weird texture and

15:00

it's almond-flavored. Yeah, that makes it

15:02

difficult. I actually don't mind it,

15:04

but just a little bit. I

15:06

didn't ever want those Marsapan fruits.

15:08

You know how they mold whole

15:42

facts for you. Not fun facts.

15:44

It's lame research. More lame research.

15:46

You've been working. Well, I felt

15:48

like we haven't done any lame

15:50

research on this podcast for a

15:52

long time and I thought that's

15:54

really lame. That we haven't even,

15:56

like how lame is that? It's

15:58

like lame. squared we

16:00

16:04

1640 in 1640. the

16:06

German. Germany. choir Of course

16:09

wanted to shut the kids up like you

16:11

know while who wanted to. was shut

16:13

the kids up. I went to the candy

16:15

you know, while the performance was happening. So I

16:17

went to sugar and said, can you give me

16:19

some sugar sticks? like give them shut the kids

16:21

up put in their their mouth. That one wanted

16:23

something big in their mouth in their mouth. And he said,

16:25

bend and bend the top of them. So

16:27

the story goes, bend them around so that

16:29

they. they are like a a shepherd's crook so

16:31

bit more a bit more the nativity scene

16:34

be. I would say why not

26:48

bring out these things and put

26:50

a spittoon in the middle of

26:52

the table. Do some Christmas spitten.

26:54

And time it so when Uncle
